Popis: | The reactor kinetic equations are reduced to an integral form convenient for explicit numerical solution, involving no approximations beyond the usual space-independent assumption. Numerical evaluation is performed by the RTS (Reactor Transient Solution) code, written in FORTRAN II for the IBM-704 computer. The characteristic roots and residues which arise in this method of solution were computed and are tabulated for each of the main fissile species. Analvtic or point-function reactivity variation may be introduced, together with constant or time-varying reactivity compensation, and the resulting power response, total energy release, and compensated reactivity computed precisely as functions of time. The code solves the general non-equilibrium kinetics problem with extraneous sources, the customary equilibrium solution being a special case of the general solution. Practical use of the method is demonstrated through computed response curves for representative reactivity-addition functions in various types of chainreacting systems. (auth) |
